I would be so insulted! $50? I would think I would be worth more than that? I just saw this on CNN. They pulled the ad eventually, but the man was selling his wife because he "needed the money." Also claimed his wife was worth his weight in gold. If he's selling her for $50 she must weigh a tenth of an ounce!

That CAN'T be legal. At least not in Brazil! I hope they'd be more civilized than that.

I just saw another on ebay a few weeks ago. I wonder if the wives know they're being sold or have any say in the matter.

Ebay is fairly strict with following laws from what I understand.
